Marko - What was life like 500 years ago?

I think life was like 500 years ago with no technology. So they did not have washing machines back 500 years ago so the washed cloths with there pair hands.They also traded things like gold food furniture.They also had no buildings just small houses. ALso the land was very different. Over the years people started to event new thing to make life easy.Also clothing has become more better.
